Or you can email me the sudo bin for RSEL6 and I can try and run it from a mounted usb drive.

Does the cubieboard even use grub? I thought that was still 64-bit UEFI only, and certainly not available on EL6. I suspect what you need to do is adjust the boot parameter through u-boot.

    You could just edit /etc/shadow and remove the password field.

    That is on the sata drive.  I will have to unplug the sata, hook
    it up to a sata/usb adapter to gain access to the shadow file from
    another system.  Part of the reason I went with the Cubieboards
    was the sata interface.

    It looks like there is a file in /boot/grub/loader that has the
    options entry and at that point it is booting off the sd card.  So
    I think I can get it into single user mode.  Will be trying this
    tomorrow.

        I connected a monitor and keyboard and rebooted the one
        system.  Was just given the option list that I cannot edit.

        So what file on the sd card do I edit to add 'single'?

        thank you

            First discovered no sudo.  I always had used su and never
            noticed no sudo.  Is there someway someone could send me
            the bin and I could run it from a usb drive from my user
            account?

            But since no sudo, I wanted to boot into single user mode
            to change root's password.  I hook up to the console
            serial port and power cycle the server.  I get a
            selection list of

            Centos Options
            1:        centos

            No way to up arrow and press A to append single mode to that.

            How do I get the system to boot into single mode?

            thanks

            Bob
